Slowly the sun has lost its light, <br />Worlds, love, are left to blight. <br /> <br />Harshly brushed from the sky, <br />weeping soul, bids goodbye. <br /> <br />The dying day; my heart slows. <br />Now faint, behind a mount glows. <br /> <br />The stirring birds, too far away. <br />Swoop to death, descend in gray <br /> <br />In depth of cauldrons, deep below. <br />Witches harken the demons dhow. <br /> <br />Flicker, alight their jaundiced eyes. <br />Scarce a blink at painful byes. <br /> <br />Canine mongrels now frenzied feed. <br />To trample, scuff, the pearly bead. <br /> <br />Snatch from swallows, tender wings. <br />Quicken hearts at Roman rings. <br /> <br />Learn their tricks from swooping shrikes, <br />impale my dreams on thorny spikes. <br /> <br />Raise the churls to screech, incant. <br />A foretold fate and feelings scant. <br /> <br />Sliced bit by bit, to tattered shards. <br />Without a grimace, my tender cards. <br /> <br />In fetid toils, an eternal blot; <br />are tears and pains, a measure not. <br /> <br />Plunder lilies from ponds to wiles. <br />Sunk my cares in driven piles. <br /> <br />Hades' baneful staff hath swung. <br />Singed, scorched, doom is sprung.<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/painful-byes-2/
